Identifying Red Zone Aggressive Dogs

• Some dog breeds, such as pit bulls and mastiffs, are considered more likely, because of the power and size of the breed, to become red zone aggressive. According to Cesar, no matter the breed, it is vital to establish your role as "pack leader." The pack leader is always calm, balanced and in charge. The high levels of frustration and dominance that indicate a red zone case are exhibited when an owner is unable to handle his dog, allowing the dog to become the pack leader. Dogs that have an excess of pent-up energy due to lack of exercise can also easily escalate into red zone cases. Red zone dogs are at risk of attacking humans or other dogs or otherwise damaging property.
